Genotypic and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii: Analysis of is Aba Elements and blaOXA-23-like Genes Including a New Variant
13 Nov 2015
Abstract excerpt
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CR-AB) causes serious nosocomial infections, especially in ICU wards of hospitals, worldwide. Expression of bla OXA genes is the chief mechanism of conferring carbapenem resistance among CR-AB. Although some bla OXA genes have been studied among CR-AB isolates from Iran, their bla OXA-23-like genes have not been investigated. We used a multiplex-PCR to detect Ambler...
